“Having Jonathan back, it gives a new look,” said Hossa. “We have to work hard and have somebody in front of the net otherwise it doesn’t matter who we have on the power play. It won’t work if you have a goalie like Smith in the net. We want to make sure we have traffic and keep shooting the puck maybe from the beginning.”

It’s also worth mentioning that the Coyotes are one of the few teams in the NHL that were even worse with the man advantage this season. On top of that, both teams typically play a disciplined game. With that in mind, the squad that manages to take advantage of what power-play opportunities they’re given should have a distinct edge in this series.
